Many anime protagonists are destined for greatness. Their heroism (or villainy) is preordained, either by a prophecy or bloodline. These characters are often the norm, but this trope overlooks main characters who have humbler beginnings. Protagonists who dont fall into the Chosen One trope are just as impressive as fated protagonists (if not more so).
Main characters who dont have mystical backgrounds can be some of the most interesting protagonists. For the most part, they are simply regular people who work through their problems and become stronger through hard work. They may not have been born to be prominent, but they accept the challenge anyway.

This article mentions sensitive topics such as sexual abuse, violence, and child exploitation.
Anime can get pretty wild sometimes. Like any other storytelling medium, anime can push the envelope and challenge viewers with intense or even disturbing story content. As a result, these boundary-pushing anime went too far for some groups' tastes. This then led to complaints, protests, or even official bans.
Some nations formally banned certain anime, since they objected to what they view as inappropriate content. Often, banned anime made uncomfortably sharp or honest critiques of a nation's history or leaders.
